In Marin, the conservation extremist groups have been fighting against bike infrastructure for decades due to vague and unsubstantiated claims about bike infrastructure being bad for endangered animals in Marin. 80% of Marin is open space. Mountain biking routes are bike infrastructure in Marin and mountain biking is the safest and greenest way to travel between east and west Marin. Groups like Marin Audubon also fight against paved bike infrastructure. They have opposed the critical need for widening the Mill Valley - Sausalito bike path, which is heavily used by Marin to SF bike commuters. Narrow paths create too much bike-pedestrian conflict. Marin Audubon is currently opposing adequately wide SMART bike paths in Terra Linda and they are suing the county over the Road & Trails management plan. It is deeply upsetting to me that the \"environmental\" organizations in Marin fight against bike infrastructure so intensely. If we don't reform CEQA, we must exempt climate change, sea level rise and bike infrastructure projects from CEQA.

When my grandfather purchased the house in the early 1960's, there was a boat access. We have a boat ramp and dock - neither have been used in over 30 years. This is because the slough needs to be dredged and Marin Audubon opposed the dredging due to impact on the Clapper Rail and Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse.

The nursery generally does not irrigate the plantings in the field, relying instead on the winter rains.":1,"#Mimicking Mother Nature":1,"#Project managers working in the Presidio must request plants from the nursery a year and a half ahead of time. Once the nursery staff determines the feasibility of a request, they collect seeds from the park, clean and dry them in a dehydrator, and store them in a refrigerator, where they are organized based on their species and subwatersheds. Staff must keep a close eye on growing calendars to figure out when to remove a seed from the refrigerator for planting.":1,"#“We wanted to make sure we weren’t bringing in anything new that would change that genetic landscape,” Schaefer said. Inbreeding between different plant populations can affect the health of the restored area.":1,"#“Native” in this case is not used loosely. The 1,500-acre Presidio is home to 12 different native plants communities found throughout five subwatersheds, said Brianna Schaefer, nursery manager. Doyle Drive itself goes through two separate subwatersheds, so landscapers and ecologists had to carefully determine which species would be appropriate for which areas.":1,"#Blue-eyed grass and coyote bush are among the many native plant species that will be incorporated into the project’s landscaping – and among the 62,000 native plants currently growing at the Presidio Nursery for projects across the park.":1,"#It doesn’t look like much yet, but the closely monitored greenery will eventually become part of the lush landscaping at the Presidio Parkway, the major seismic remake of the Doyle Drive approach to the Golden Gate Bridge.":1,"#To visit the Presidio Nursery, contact staff at (415) 561-4826.

The shrub, thought to be extinct for decades, was discovered in 2009 in a landlocked area in the middle of the soon-to-be-bulldozed highway. The original plant is hidden in a secret location, but its cuttings are growing at a handful of nurseries throughout the Bay Area. As for potential Presidio plantings, Schaefer said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regulates where the endangered species can be planted.":1,"#The native plants propagating for the Parkway include the Coyote Bush, a tall evergreen shrub that serves as a habitat for 300 animal species. There is also an edible red-flowering currant plant, whose “beautiful sprays of little pink flowers attract hummingbirds,” Schaefer said. There will be 1,600 low-growing blue-eyed grass plants, which produce small purple flowers, and 21 native coast live oak trees. The native Douglas irises growing in the nursery’s greenhouse will also go to Doyle. In total, the native and outside landscaped plants at the Presidio Parkway will number 114,000.":1,"#Discovering the Franciscan Manzanita":1,"#“We had to choose things that we had an abundance of,” Schaefer said. “In a park that’s very fragmented like the Presidio, a lot of our native plant populations are pretty small. One of the things we’re trying to do here is not take too much out from the wild, so we have a strict collection protocol we adhere to here.” The nursery workers will only collect 5 percent of a given population, compared to their counterparts at places like the Marin Headlands nursery, where larger amounts can be collected from the more ecologically-consistent acres.":1,"#The nursery staff often has to modify the project managers’ requests, due to capacity, seed availability and park policy. In the case of a large project like the Presidio Parkway, landscapers might ask the nursery for 15,000 of one plant that the Presidio may only grow 800 of each year, Schaefer said.":1,"#“You can only have so many projects a year that need native plants,” Helmbrecht said.":1,"#The Presidio Nursery is a collection of facilities: a new colorful, high-tech seed lab; a shade house; a glasshouse; and a volunteer center. Each year, the nursery collects about 300 native plant species — and there’s demand for even more":1,"#“Everything grown here gets collected in the park, propagated from the plants in the park, and put back in the park,” said Mark Helmbrecht, Transportation Program Manager at the Presidio Trust.
